Una mañana después de haberme sentido perdido durante mucho tiempo, tomé una decisión que cambiaría mi vida para siempre: viajar a una comunidad originaria en Amazonas, grabar todos los sonidos posibles y hacer mi tesis para finalmente poner punto final a mi relación con el academicismo.
Al poco tiempo emprendí el viaje, después de pasar por varios lugares que tenía asignados, decidí quedarme en la comunidad Tenharim, en medio de la selva, componiendo, escuchando sus vivencias y experiencias sonoras, haciendo grabaciones de campo y escribiendo un pequeño diario donde volcaba todas mis inquietudes. El viaje se extendió durante dos años.
Cantos rituales, campanas, barcos, insectos, cascadas, monos y relojes son algunas de las sonoridades que quedaron registradas en esta obra que 25 años después termino de componer.
One morning after feeling lost for a long time, I made a decision that would change my life forever: to travel to an original community in Amazonas, record as many sounds as possible and do my thesis to finally put end my relationship with academia.
Soon after I set out on the trip, after passing by several places I had been assigned to, I decided to stay in the community of Tenharim, in the middle of the of the jungle, composing, listening to their experiences , making field recordings and writing a small diary where I wrote down all my concerns.
The trip continued for two years.
Ritual songs, bells, boats, insects, waterfalls, monkeys, and clocks are some of the sonorities that were recorded in this work that 25 years later I finished composing.
